Vanalinn
No. 1 of Best Things to Do in Estonia

Vanalinn

6.8
4.6/5
112 reviews

Vanalinn is a remarkably well-preserved medieval city on the Baltic Sea and was once an important trading port of the Hanseatic League. In the Lower Town, centered around Raekoja plats, the Gothic Old Town Hall stands on one side of the square. St. Olaf's Church, with its spire over 100 m high, the Three Sisters houses with their three connected gables, and the Town Hall Pharmacy, which has records of operation dating back to the early 15th century, are all scattered throughout this area; a few minutes south of the square is St. Nicholas' Church & Museum, which is now a museum of religious art; the late medieval masterpiece "Danse Macabre" housed inside is particularly worth a stop. The higher Toompea Castle area, also known as the Upper Town, features the onion-domed Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and the Cathedral of Saint Mary the Virgin standing side by side, which, together with the ancient castle, outline the skyline. The medieval-style doors, windows, and hanging signs along the streets are details that many people easily miss. The preserved ancient city walls stretch for nearly 2 km, connecting one circular tower after another, offering a different perspective from the top of the wall. Walk to the Kohtuotsa and Patkuli viewing platforms on the edge of Toompea, where red-tiled roofs layer upon layer spread out toward the Baltic Sea.

Vanalinn, Tallinn’s Old Town, is a beautifully preserved medieval quarter that feels like stepping into a storybook. Cobblestone streets wind past colorful merchant houses, Gothic churches, and hidden courtyards, all encircled by impressive stone walls and towers. Town Hall Square is the lively heart, perfect for soaking in the atmosphere from a cozy café. Climbing Toompea Hill offers panoramic views over red-tiled rooftops and the Baltic Sea. By day, it’s a treasure of history and architecture; by night, lantern-lit streets create a magical charm. Vanalinn is a must-visit for anyone seeking authentic medieval ambiance with a vibrant modern twist.

Definitely one of the most beautiful medieval squares in Europe. Definitely worth seeing along with the one in Krakow. There are also some strange gargoyles.

One of the most classic buildings in Estonia Estonia is not big, Tallinn is even smaller. The whole Tallinn gives people a very good feeling. But if you want to talk about any landmarks, this church must have a name It was built in the late 19th century when Tallinn was under the rule of the Russian Empire, so it is a typical Russian style. It is also the largest and tallest Orthodox church in Tallinn.

Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, has a beautiful old town that still retains its original walls and cobblestone streets, as well as 15th-century defense towers. The walls of Tallinn Old Town are one of the best-preserved medieval city walls in Europe.

Kadriorg Park in Tallinn, Estonia, is a beautifully landscaped green space created in the early 18th century by Peter the Great. Designed in Baroque style, the park surrounds the elegant Kadriorg Palace, blending formal gardens, flowerbeds, fountains, and tree-lined avenues. Over the centuries, it has expanded to include more natural landscapes, walking paths, ponds, and statues, making it a favorite spot for both relaxation and cultural exploration. The park also hosts museums and art collections, adding to its charm. Whether for a leisurely stroll, a picnic, or a glimpse into Estonia’s history, Kadriorg Park offers a peaceful and picturesque escape.

The Old Town of Tallinn is divided into the Upper Town and the Lower Town. Follow the guide to walk from the Lower Town to the Upper Town, through the streets and alleys. Among them, the St. Catherine's Passage is a relatively distinctive small street. It is narrow and a little steep. The street is a cobblestone path. Through this street, you can reach the highest point of the Old Town of Tallinn to see the scenery of the city.
